What environment are you trying to build in?

In config.h:

/* set this only when building a DLL under MinGW */
/* #undef DLL_NETCDF */

In netcdf.h:

/* Declaration modifiers for DLL support (MSC et al) */

#if defined(DLL_NETCDF) /* define when library is a DLL */
#  if defined(NC_DLL_EXPORT) /* define when building the library */
#   define MSC_EXTRA __declspec(dllexport)
#  else
#   define MSC_EXTRA __declspec(dllimport)
#  endif
#include <io.h>
#define lseek _lseeki64
#define off_t __int64
#define stat __stat64
#define fstat _fstat64
#else
#define MSC_EXTRA
#endif  /* defined(DLL_NETCDF) */

# define EXTERNL extern MSC_EXTRA

/* When netCDF is built as a DLL, this will export ncerr and
 * ncopts. When it is used as a DLL, it will import them. */
#if defined(DLL_NETCDF)
MSC_EXTRA int ncerr;
MSC_EXTRA int ncopts;
#endif

In non-DLL builds, MSC_EXTRA is defined to nothing, and EXTERNL to
extern.

Good luck.
